Welcome to our October blog.  We have had a fantastic month in nursery.

We continued our learning of traditional tales and finished the context with Little Red Riding Hood.  This was definitely one of the children’s favourite stories, they loved the songs and re-enacting the story.  We enjoyed a picnic in the nursery to celebrate the end of the context.

Many thanks to all the parents who sent in context evaluations!

‘The start is Little Red Riding Hood puts her coat on and mum says ‘Don’t go in the woods!’  They all lived happily ever after.’  Karson

‘The woodcutter is a character in the story.’  Greg

‘The woodcutter comes at the end and he cuts the wolf.  Then granny pops out!’  Holly

‘Little Red Riding Hood was going to visit her grandma.  The wolf was sneaking at the door.’ Tyler

‘Wolf ate granny.’ Jaimi

‘I was the wolf.  I said ‘Come in.’  The granny was in the cupboard, she got locked in.’ Derry

We celebrated Greg’s birthday…

And welcomed our new start, Mason.

The children were brilliant at our obstacle course!

We are now going to be learning all about Autumn and have so far enjoyed a walk in the woods, painting and lots of talking, listening and sharing our ideas about Autumn.

Our focus for maths, literacy and health and wellbeing for this context are:

Maths – to create a simple pattern.

Literacy – to find information from a variety of sources.

Health and Wellbeing – to explore, prepare and taste a variety of foods.

We had a fantastic time at our Halloween party!
